15 July 2017

[Check out what is happening to our (and all?) economies with the advent of the giga-corporations – Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook – that have created oligopolies in several markets. And the commentary on what these companies know about the dark sides of human affairs – e.g. sources and distribution of fake news – is more than a bit disturbing. More here. gjr]

“Thirty-two million fewer people would have health coverage, health insurance premiums would double and the insurance market would destabilize over the next 10 years under legislation the Senate may take up next week, according to a report the Congressional Budget Office published Wednesday.”
Well that will put a fork in the already dead Trumpcare proposal. Flop Flop Flop

i rather like the name Obamacare. Let’s keep it as written. Premiums will still skyrocket, states that expanded Medicaid eligibility will still be burning the midnight oil to figure out how in the heck can they pay for it (many can’t already and in a couple of years they will have to pay full freight for Medicaid as the Feds pull back the carrot and back out) the Cadillac Tax will kick in, more insurance carriers will run for the hills, and we can all just kick back with a nice soda pop and watch Obamacare and Obama do the death spiral. Then, like the early 70’s, we can carry a casket down Haight to commemorate the death of the flower child. How cool is that!

re: The Paul@10:53PM
The fight over health care will be an interesting one. The Obama Congress left an interesting minefield in the form of an unfunded entitlement and I’m afraid that the Republican Congress can’t spin straw from gold…plus there’s mutually exclusive needs at work here.
Bummer they can’t just institute the $3000-deductible-and-go-to-Yubadocs-for-the-small-stuff plan that’s magically paid for by somebody else.
As the only unideological President in recent times, I doubt that Trump can do anything in this matter. We’ll simply see a street fight between big pharma, Medicare recipients, the AMA, illegal alien advocates, people who get (or got) perfectly good health insurance, those with preexisting conditions, and those who want health insurance on the public dime (it’s for The People, mann) all scrimmaging over insufficient resources.

“Aren’t you folks even a little bit embarrassed sometimes?”
That was rhetorical question, right? Surely you jest. Yesterday Walt said there is hope yet for the liberals, and today Scenes asks if they are even a “little bit embarrassed sometimes.” Now I have heard everything. You cannot shame a psychopath nor a sociopath, Scenes. Duh. What planet do you live on? Maybe once in a blue moon a little regret is all you can ever expect from them….regret that they got catch redhanded and even that may be stretching and definition of “a little embarrassment” to the outer limits and beyond. What, you expect Punchy to run over here embarrassed that he jumped on Golden Shower with glee and reckless abandon singing from the rooftops that Trump is going down, give it a month max and he will be gone!
No, if they feel even a twinge of embarrassment it will be twisted so the other dude is more at fault, thus absolving themselves. Being a psycho means never having to say you are sorry. They are sorry alright, sorry sumbitches.

They revel in their cognitive dissonance. It is simply who they are. It is not their fault, they seem to have been born that way. Plus, being born without any conceivable way to comprehend, no less apprehend, humor, makes them stupid and glum. If they were just dumb and jolly, the bitter pill would be easier to swallow. Perhaps someday science will find a cure for them, but I am beginning to have my doubts. See, hope burns eternal. Just ask Walt. 🙂

According to Navy policy guidance released last fall, a sailor must receive a doctor’s diagnosis of medical necessity and command approval to begin the gender transition process, which can take a variety of different forms, from counseling and hormone therapy to surgery. Sailors must also prove they can pass the physical standards and requirements of the gender to which they are transitioning.
These first female candidates represent a major milestone for the Navy, which has previously allowed women into every career field except the SEALs and SWCC community. A successful candidate would also break ground for military special operations.

Submitted for your consideration…….(and comments….always want to hear the comments!)

Stockman Warns Of The Imperial City’s Fiscal Waterloo

Authored by David Stockman via The Daily Reckoning,
It’s all over now except the shouting about Obamacare repeal and replace, but that’s not the half of it.
The stand by Senators Lee and Moran was much bigger than putting the latest iteration of McConnell-Care out of its misery. The move rang the bell loud and clear that the Imperial City has become fiscally ungovernable.
That means there is a chamber of horrors coming. With it, an endless political and fiscal crisis that will dominate Washington for years to come. Its cause is deep and structural.
Founding Fathers, Fiscal Crisis and the Washington of Today
The founders, in fact, were small government de-centralists and non-interventionists. That’s why they agreed to Madison’s contraption of redundant checks and balances.
Aside from ruthlessly ambitious Alexander Hamilton, the founders wanted a national government that was hobbled by levels of hurdles and vetoes. They wanted a government that could act sparingly and only after thorough deliberation and consensus building.
And that made sense. After all, most believed that the 10th amendment was the cornerstone of the Constitution. Neither Washington or Jefferson envisioned the political and fiscal burdens of running an empire.
“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world.” That was George Washington’s Farewell Address to us.
The inaugural pledge of Thomas Jefferson was no less clear in stating, “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none.”
So when Woodrow Wilson embarked the nation on the route of Empire in April 1917 and FDR launched the domestic interventionism of the New Deal in March 1933, the die was cast. It was only a matter of time before the disconnect between a robust Big Government and the structural infirmities of Madison’s republican contraption resulted in a deadly impasse.
The Fed has now backed itself into a corner and is out of dry powder. Even its Keynesian managers are determined to normalize and shrink a hideously bloated balance sheet. The current account has no basis in sustainable or sound finance.
The time of fiscal reckoning has come. With the financial sedative of monetization on hold, bond vigilantes will soon awaken from their 30 year slumber.
First up is the imminent debt ceiling crisis. Republicans will never reach agreement on a bill to raise the debt ceiling by at least the $2 trillion that would be needed to get through November 2018. That’s because the Freedom Caucus conservatives would never agree to a clean debt ceiling bill. By agreeing to such a measure, they would betray the fundamental reason they went to Washington.
The Washington Post reported that sentiment exactly this morning in comments from Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows:
Meadows said that he recently attended a meeting of eight of the most conservative Senate and House lawmakers about how to handle the debt ceiling and that not once did they consider the idea of backing Mnuchin’s proposal for a clean debt-ceiling increase.
The end game is quite clear. After several false starts, the Trump White House will be forced to turn to Democrats for votes to raise the debt ceiling but it will come at a price.
Not only would Trump be forced to bailout Obamacare with subsidies to insurance companies to keep rates out of double digits and coverage on state exchanges from collapsing, but it would also mean setting aside his vaguely outlined domestic agenda.
That would include dropping the sweeping domestic spending cuts contained in the Administration’s budget and settling for a modest tax plan constrained by revenue neutrality.
Even if Trump were to agree to a quid pro quo with Democrats to get votes for a debt ceiling increase, it would soon be surpassed by a far bigger consequence. It would be the complete implosion of any functioning Republican majorities on Capitol Hill.
That’s because a White House deal with the Dems on the debt ceiling would amount to giving the GOP rank and file release from party discipline — ragged as it already is — on fiscal matters going forward. White House complicity in Obamacare’s rescue would be considered an unforgivable betrayal.
Donald Trump, the Debt Ceiling and the Fiscal Reality
The Donald has almost no real friends in the Imperial City among the ranks of the seasoned political pros who run the Congressional GOP. After a debt-ceiling-for-Obamacare-bailout deal with the Dems, he would have no friends at all. The President would then be completely beholden to political enemies.
The naïve notions about “bipartisanship” and “working with Democrats” held by the White House inner circle of economic advisors will then come into play. As far as we can tell, both Secretary Mnuchin and chief economic advisor Gary Cohn (and son-in-law Jared Kushner) are lifelong Democrats. They are individuals who have no fiscal policy principles whatsoever — except doing whatever is necessary to keep the stock market rising.
They would likely lead the Donald into a fatal debt deal with the Dems based on the doctrine that the “credit” of the U.S. must be preserved at all hazards. By doing so, the Wall Street/Washington establishment’s fifth column in the White House will bring about the final defenestration of what is left of Trump’s presidency.
The astute leader of the Freedom Caucus made the devastating political cost of such a maneuver crystal clear. In recent commentary on the impending crisis, referring to Mnuchin’s campaign for a clean debt ceiling bill, he explained there is no such thing as 50/50 GOP/Dem coalition to pass a debt ceiling bill.
The minute the White House starts making concessions, the GOP bench will jump off the ship in droves. It will then become an overwhelmingly Democrat vote show:
“He’s certainly in the minority in the administration,” said Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. “The problem is, yes, you could get a clean debt-ceiling, but it would be 180 Democrats in the House with 40 or 50 Republicans, and that’s not a good way to start.
Before Trump is forced into a surrender, there will be the same vote count maneuvering in GOP caucuses of both Houses. Similar to what preceded the GOP collapse of their seven-year crusade against Obamacare, such maneuvering may even lead to one or more small increases in borrowing authority.
The more likely case, however, is that the Treasury’s cash — which now stands at $168 billion — will run-out before they get to a stop-gap debt ceiling increase. That would cause the Treasury to unleash the nuclear tool of spending prioritization and allocation of incoming revenues to the highest uses (debt service, social security payments and military payroll).
Again, the Washington Post story hit exactly what is coming:
“One former Treasury official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive agency deliberations, said officials are now “brushing up on options in the ‘crazy drawer.’”
In past administrations, Treasury officials have designed plans to prioritize payments to government bondholders so that if the government runs short on cash it could avoid defaulting on U.S. debt.
Such a scenario would be very difficult to manage because some bills would either be delayed or not paid — making it necessary to prevent an actual default. Prioritizing payments could lead to a spike in interest rates and a stock market crash, analysts have said.
The Undrainable Swamp Meets Wall Street
That’s an understatement, if there ever was one. Prioritization and unpaid bills piling up in the Federal agency drawers will cause a thundering shock in both Washington and Wall Street.
Congress would ring with stories about unpaid contractors, delayed grant distributions, furloughed Federal employers, closed national parks, and endless more.
If there’s any lesson from the 2008 crisis, it’s that entitled elites and robo-machines on Wall Street do not cater to a Congress that’s not doing their bidding. That became clear when the stock market dropped by upwards of 800 Dow points during the fifteen minute interval when the first TARP vote was being tallied (and voted down).
The non-compliance with Wall Street demands for protecting the credit of the U.S. at all costs and the sight of political disarray in Washington will come as a shock. It will cause panic on Wall Street and an even greater headache for the Donald.
That’s because Trump has trumpeted the 18% rise of the stock market averages since Nov. 8 as an endorsement of his Presidency. Instead, he should’ve punctured the bubble on Day One by demanding Yellen’s resignation and blaming the crash on the Fed and its enablers.
Having taken the easy strategy of embracing the stock market bubble, Trump will soon face a double whammy of unfair blame. He soon will be blamed for the debt ceiling crisis that he inherited; and nailed for causing the third major stock market crash of this century. Even though it was fostered by a rogue central bank that he has not addressed, let alone subdued.
The WaPo story provides the growing atmospherics, but the real countdown is in the Treasury numbers. Last year the Treasury collected only $595 billion between July 14 and the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.
Last year’s collections during the back 78 days of the fiscal year amounted to $7.6 billion per calendar day. This figure might reach $8 billion per day this year based on the 4.4% year-to-date lift in total tax collections.
Under that math, Washington has now spent $2.6 trillion through the end of May, or about $11 billion per calendar day. So call the cash burn rate $3 billion per day, and compute the inception of crisis as follows.
That makes 50-60 days of cash left, at most. Then comes the first great fiscal temblor of the new era.
The first round of prioritization and allocation will only be the precursor. It will come when Senator Schumer stands with a hapless Donald Trump in the Rose Garden announcing that the debt ceiling will be increased enough to get through the November 2018 election. Perhaps the Wall Street robo-machines will then be reprogrammed, finally.
At that point there will be no dip to buy. The political and fiscal crisis will become a permanent disaster in the Imperial City and the dip on Wall Street will become an extended cavern.
As all school boys know, the original Waterloo decisively changed the course of history.
So will this one.

Like George says…..”Last Great Century of Man”!

The essential point BillT is making here is the most important of the day. Trump is not what you call a ‘pubber’, he is something new. Feel blessed, the foundation of what you consider as the US election system is changing on a monthly basis. My guess is that your internal taxonomy of politics is inherently flawed.

I know it’s been a WHILE for ya’ Paul,,(yes, time fades the memory) but those ladies really like the “bad boys”. Especially “bikers”.
We have seen what the LIB women like. Usually each other, and more hair under the arms than you or me.

Oh Punchy, talk dirty to me.
Is that the best you got? You really are devoid of….of…..well, let’s just say you took one too many in the head. Or, Momma dropped you when you were a baby. It’s not your fault.
Come on man, think of something original. Or steal a good line from something you once heard or read. Geeze, are you really that lame? Think, Punchy, think. Call me a swamp thang or something. You can do it! Opps, “are you really that lame?” was a rhetorical question. No need to answer, Paunchy. Pauly want a cracker?
Breaking News! Squawk. For you reading pleasure, squawk, swawk, squawk….Trump at 30, sqwak squawk, Penske in, squawk, squawk, Russians are coming, Squawk.
Ok, maybe I was a wee bit harsh on the…er…man. Punchy, you do have the ability to believe those Tin Foil Hat conspiracies, so that’s proof you are not totally brain dead. Always a silver lining.
